I guess they do technically exploit people's psychological weaknesses to make games more addictive than they'd be otherwise.. if you take all of those out, though, the classic Final Fantasy SNES games are basically just pixel art comic books
- tripzilch 7y agoI mean, I don't like all types of games. What may feel grinding to me, might be fun for somebody else? In fact, I sometimes enjoy watching other people have fun, even if it would be grinding for me. Also helps that they're usually just better at it :)
